Spasticity

[Sammantha]

I know this has probably been talked about a million times......... What on earth would cause my legs, both legs from the knee down to turn rock hard. I mean they get so hard the skin feels like it is going to burst! Usually it almost always happen at the end of the day when i am sitting on a hard surface like a bleecher. When i get up to walk i walk like a penguin, the are so stiff...at least its not painful, but it really feels like they are going to burst through my pants... Now if my muscles were weak how could they get so big and hard?

hi sammantha.

if its something new you should let your gp or neuro know.
be thankfull you have no pain,some like myself are in pain 24/7 with spasms.

sammantha, I have something similiar, it feels like my skin is stretched to the max, and my ankles are going to explode. Also by the way, they are not swollen or anything, just curious why I get this feeling, also I am one of undiagnosed, Margaret
